the aim of this study was to present and review retromandibular anteroparotid approach and to evaluate its efficacy and safety in reduction and fixation of subcondylar fractures. materials and methods : in the period between january 2013 to february 2014, 10 patients with the age range of 17 to 41 years with a diagnosis of subcondylar fracture at sina general hospital, iran, underwent open trea...

Ameloblastoma is a locally aggressive and highly infiltrative tumor with high recurrence rate. Its multicystic form the recommended treatment resection safety margin, which results in significant facial defects esthetic functionals repercussions. Microvascular surgery revolutionized reconstruction of because these grafting techniques allow more satisfactory aesthetic functional restoration. Thi...

Ameloblastoma is a common benign, locally aggressive odontogenic neoplasm that usually occurs in the vicinity of mandibular molars or ramus. Uncontrolled, ameloblastoma may cause significant morbidity and occasionally death. The majority ameloblastomas are multicystic, which more difficult to eradicate than unicystic peripheral varieties. Although surgery mainstay treatment, extent resection co...

Anaplastology ISSN: 2161-1173 Anaplastology, an open access journal Volume 2 • Issue 5 • 1000121 Today 3DM and RP techniques are widely employed to support planning in different types of surgery especially involving mandible malformation or defects such as bilateral sagittal split osteotomies [5] or chin repositioning by pre-bending titanium plates on the printed model [6]. RP models have also ...

Fabrication of a complete denture for the post-surgical intraoral carcinoma patient can be difficult because of the severe limitation in the oral opening. The neutral zone concept can be used for such cases. The purpose of this case report is to describe a modified neutral zone impression technique designed to obtain maxillary and mandibular impressions in one stage in preparation for construct...

In this paper, we introduce our original method of autologous nerve grafting for substitution of the mandibular nerve after mandibular resection in three subjects. The lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm served as a donor nerve, and the graft was imbedded microsurgically at the junctures using an epineurial nerve suture technique. Oversized grafts were chosen in order to insert them without ...

Mandibular defects may result from many conditions such as trauma, inflammatory diseases and tumors. There are rare cases reported in the literature that have demonstrated spontaneous bone regeneration after resection of the mandible. Several factors such as age, preservation of the periosteum and genetics seem to influence spontaneous bone regeneration capacity in individuals. Evaluation of th...

Background: Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare and malignant odontogenic tumour possibly arising de-novo from pre-existing ameloblastoma. It aggressive locally destructive. Ameloblastoma the most common benign of mandible. originates tooth-forming epithelium, where its aetiology remains unknown. usually grows slowly, asymptomatic, destroys surrounding bone tissue. Malignant transformation amelobl...
